Iron tsuba decorated with vines. This is a simple and elegant tsuba. Base of the tsuba and inlays are black, that is way the picture is not standing out. Therefore it feels like this is a night scene. This tsuba comes alive when kept in hand moving from and away from the light source. In strong light vines are well visible and when in a shadow they almost totally disappear.
Made in Edo period.
Size: 65 mm x 65 mm x 4 mm
